The New Hampshire Durable (Financial) Power of Attorney enacts terms using a written instrument that confirms an alternate individual to receive identified rights to act on behalf of another. The common durable agreement is utilized in estate planning to grant controls with a provision that allows the contract to persist even if the declaring party becomes mentally or physically impaired. The form provides flexibility for the principal, supplying specific conditions to define the extent of issued authorization over financial, legal, or other areas. Once completed, executed, and instated, it can late be terminated by using a revocation of power of attorney form when no longer needed.
